Recant Testimony

On July 13th, 2011, Judge Jack Vitale of the Monroe County, Michigan ordered 3 pit bulls to be euthanized, siting they "lack usefull purpose and pose a threat to public safety" The Prosecution's expert, Dr. Katherine Houpt, gave testimony based on her temperment evaluations of the dogs. The Buster Foundation & Monroe SPCA do not feel Dr. Houpt's testimony was representative of the evaluations themselves.

The results of the testing indicates that the following animals: the two males Monroe 207 Reilly 212 that both demonstrated aggression to other dogs and one female Dusty 206 who snarled at the doll should be humanely euthanized because of their lack of any useful purpose and the public safety threat they pose."

Dr. Houpt failed Dusty for aggressive behavior. Our expert evaluators are in complete disagreement with Dr. Houpt's evaluation. This video was the exact video shown in court. View and decide for yourself.

Dusty, Monroe and Reilly remain at Monroe County Animal Control and Both The Buster Foundation & Monroe SPCA will file an appeal and, with your support, hope Dr. Houpt will recant her testimony.
